Saas-Grund/Saas-Balen

There’s a further 35km of skiing between 3,200m and 3,400m on Hohsaas which is 3km lower down the valley at Saas Grund. Saas Grund is covered by the same lift pass and the Hohsaas ski area is reached by riding the gondola from Saas Grund to Kreuzboden 2,400m then the Ziebel gondola to 3,200m.

There’s also good ski touring higher up on Triftgletscher, quite challenging snow shoeing close to the pistes above and below Weissmieshűtte and an 11km long toboggan run all the way from Kreuzboden 2,400m down to Saas Grund at 1,559m. Saas Grund is worth visiting if you’re staying in Saas-Fee for more than a few days.
